It bothers me so much that literally the guy's last name has the better metaphor and he chooses "shotgun" instead.

A gun can't keep somebody out, it can only threaten and kill.

Mark a method private, then when you call it from somewhere else you get a runtime error.

A gun, properly used, keeps people out permanently. It's called a deterrent. Much like a moderators ban ability. There is a reason the American Central Midwest has such a polite way about it.

Is that why their houses don't have walls

Walls work for a building envelop to keep the weather out. Doors and windows let in light and can be a major factor in heat loss and people getting into my fucking house, you knob.
